I purchased this trade label on Ebay recently.It probably was used in boxed instruments but this one was pasted on the inside front cover ofThe Shipmaster's Assistant and Commercial Digest ,9th edition published in 1857. It is easy to date the label because the firm moved to 244 South Front Street around 1860. I already had two similar labels shown below.

The Frederick W. Lincoln Jr. label was also pasted in a book purchased on Ebay several years ago.

My favorite is The W. Hooker label and I have no idea where I obtained it.The proprietor William Hooker engraved it. He worked in Philadelphia around 1805 and moved to New York City around 1840. "He engraved a few portraits in stipple ,and subject plates in line, but he seems to have been chiefly employed in map engraving" *
